The Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Pearson's correlation, and t-tests were run to answer the research questions. Principal Component Analysis used for the self-developed questionnaire produced three factor solutions of attitude towards IT, and two factor solutions of computer self-efficacy. The t-test results revealed a statistically significant difference between Arts and Science students in terms of their attitude towards IT and computer self-efficacy in favor of Science students. Furthermore, self-esteem is in favor of Arts students, with the exception of attitude towards PowerPoint, where no statistically significant difference was found. 2015-08 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/48481/ http://eprints.usm.my/48481/1/RELATIONSHIPS24pages.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Ilmu Pendidikan
